Designboom has a neat post about an exhibition of Yoav Ziv and Gad Charny's clothes-pins (or clothes pegs, take your pick) collection (curated with Yaacov Kaufman):

One would have expected the pegs to disappear, with the appearance of the drying machines, but they have survived the technological change. on the contrary, the number of different clothes pegs seems only to be growing.

Like this lovely bird-shaped clothes-pin above, for instance! See more here: Link - via Ishbdiddle
